First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church in Rapid City, South Dakota, meets for its Sunday service from 9:00 to 10:30 AM at 707 St. Patrick Street, and the service is streamed on YouTube. From late September through mid-November, a Worship on Wednesday evening runs from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, with dinner at 5:30 and classes starting at 6:00. The church lists a lead pastor, a youth pastor, a minister of music, and a praise team, and publishes a statement of beliefs and a church history on its website.

Children's ministry meets Sundays from 10:15 to 11:00 AM in classrooms on the lower level, with activities, Bible lessons, and fellowship. Older students in sixth through twelfth grade have a youth group that meets Sundays, Wednesdays, and at other times, with lake days, hiking trips, mission trips, sporting events, and camps. The church mentions Camp Judson, a Baptist camp in the Black Hills, for summer. Adults can connect through men's and women's groups, home gatherings, and what the church calls Missional Communities, which are meant to meet through the week for meals and neighborhood service. A weekly email keeps people informed, and the church also posts on Facebook. Service and class times can change by season, so confirm on the website or by calling the office.
